Sally Costerton, ICANN Senior Advisor to the President and Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement, was named Interim President and CEO in December 2022. Costerton has led ICANN’s global offices and internationalization strategy for more than 10 years.
Sinha is the second female Board Chair in ICANN’s history. In 1998, Esther Dyson was named ICANN Board Chairman. Costerton is the first female in ICANN’s history to serve in the President and CEO role.
“There are many ways that women around the world can participate in ICANN, whether they come from academia, civil society, the public or the private sector,” said Costerton. “The ICANN community of Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees offers many opportunities for women to take a seat at the table, and to be at the forefront of policy-making processes that govern different aspects related to the Internet’s Domain Name System (DNS).”
The ICANN community is convening for the ICANN76 Community Forum in Cancún, Mexico, from 11 to 16 March 2023. This online and in-person event is the first of three ICANN public meetings to be held in 2023.
